AHC:Make the DCEU as popular and well regarded as the MCU

As you know (unless you've been living under a rock) the films produced by Marvel Studios under the umbrella of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have become the most successful film franchise of all time. Every film they have produced has been a financial success and usually a critical one as well.
The attempt by Warner Brothers to ape this formula in the DC extended universe has been far less successful. Their films make money but not as much as they need to and critical reception started out poor and went down with each new film.

So the challenge here is, with a POD of no earlier than 2009 have the DCEU become as much of a critical and financial success as the MCU. Bonus points if you have a POD after 2012.
 
Snyder and Tsujihara are run over by a car, in the the panic WB accidental hire someone competent to run the company and to make the movies.
 
Have the DCAU guys be the main creative coordinating guys, akin to Kevin Feige...
Or have the Green Lantern movie not tank, so you don't have the whole grimdark backlash as demonstrated by Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, etc...
 
Green lantern is decent. DC convinces Christopher Nolan to allow Batman to enter the DCEU.

Dark Knight Rises goes much the same as it did in OTL, except Joseph Gordan Levitt's Robin explicitly becomes Night Wing.


Man of Steel is mostly the same, but a little bit more bright.

Insert a good Green Lantern Sequel, introduce the other Lantern Corps beyond green and Yellow.

It isn't called Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice but Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's plot is similar, but

1. Alexander Luthor is less crazy in public being charismatic and energetic, but in private is quiet and more serious. His plan isn't "Kill superman cause lulz" but instead "recreate Metropolis disaster in Gotham for building contracts"

2. Bale's Batman has returned to serve as Night Wing's home base/director. Night Wing is suspicious of Superman but Bruce Wayne thinks He should communicate with Superman instead of jumping to conclusions. The fight can still happen but Night Wing should be less prepared for it when it happens.

3. Steppenwolf/Darkseid isn't behind it. Brainiac is.

4. Superman does not die. The Three of them just reconcile their differences and unite.

Wonder Woman is relatively unchanged, as is her solo movie at least in theory.

Beyond that I don't know.
